What would you think of a Vanderbilt tender behind the Southern 4-8-2 #1491:
Just kidding, don't shoot!!!
I'm in the process of converting this Lionel engine to a Seaboard Mountain with Vandy tender. Still have a loooong way to go and then I have to rework some of the boiler accoutrements (sand dome, part of the running board, bell)!!!
I think it looks great, did Southern ever have any Vanderbilt tenders???
